Colors of Valparaiso + La Sebastiana by Lorraine

Experience the art, architecture, and soul of Valparaíso as you explore its hills. Discover La Sebastiana, the fascinating house of Pablo Neruda, with Lorraine.
We'll start at Plaza Sotomayor, the historic heart of Valparaiso. Here you'll learn about the history of the harbor and discover how its geography, architecture, and daily life have shaped the identity of this unique city.

From there, we'll take one of Valparaíso's traditional funiculars, an experience that is part of the history and everyday life of the Porteños. Upon reaching the hills, we'll begin our walking tour of Cerro Alegre, among colorful streets, passageways, heritage architecture, design, and spots full of character.

During the tour, we'll discover the street art that has turned Valparaiso into a true open-air gallery. You'll see murals, interventions, and different expressions of street art, while we discover some of the stories behind their colors.

We'll also visit art galleries and creative spaces, getting a closer look at the local art scene and the unique relationship between art, design, and daily life in the hills.

We'll take a break to enjoy a coffee or tea, a small treat offered by Lorraine, to rest, chat, and enjoy the local atmosphere.

We'll continue on to Cerro Concepción, exploring its streets, steps, and passageways while discovering new examples of architecture, heritage, and creativity. Along the way, we'll make stops at various vantage points to take in the hills, the city, and the bay from different perspectives.

And then comes one of the special moments of the experience: our visit to La Sebastiana, the house that Pablo Neruda chose in Valparaíso as one of his homes.

At La Sebastiana, you'll tour the spaces of this unique house and discover part of the poet's personal world, his collections, objects, and his particular way of relating to Valparaíso. The house, built on the hill, also offers a privileged view over the city and the harbor.

More than a visit to a museum, La Sebastiana allows us to get closer to the relationship between Neruda, art, architecture, and Valparaiso, a city that inspired his imagination and is part of his history.

This experience is designed for those who want to get to know Valparaíso with time, depth, and a local perspective, combining heritage, architecture, street art, galleries, vantage points, and literature.

It's not just about visiting places. It's about walking, observing, talking, and discovering the city through the eyes of Lorraine, a local host who knows, enjoys, and has Valparaíso in her blood.

The experience ends at Plazoleta San Luis, where 7 streets converge and where the UNESCO-listed Heritage District begins.
